Why are calls to my Ring Group ringing longer than intended?

Symptom

I have set my ring group call forwarding timeout to more than 30 seconds, but my calls to my ring groups are ringing longer than that.

Applies To

  • 8x8 Admin Console
  • Ring Groups

Resolution

After you have saved your desired changes to the ring group, follow these steps to get your Ring Group to ring for the correct amount of time.

  3. To the right of the desired ring group, click Edit (pencil icon).
  4. Go to the Call Forwarding Rules section.
  5. Click the Edit icon to the right of When no one in ring group answers.

  9. This completes the process and your ring group should now be working properly. 

Cause

Due to a bug in 8x8 Admin Console, when you save the ring group settings after making a change to the Basic Information, Members, or Voicemail Settings, it sets the no answer time to its default value of 30 seconds. This issue is under investigation.
